The interpretation and application of constitutional values by the judicial system has had far-reaching impact, often even altering provisions of the Constitution itself.

Union of India and Others that defined personal liberty; and Golaknath v. State of Punjab, where it was ruled that amendments which infringe upon fundamental rights cannot be passed.
